signature

This module is an implementation of section 3.4_ of RFC 5849.

Usage

Steps for signing a request:

  1. Collect parameters from the request using collect_parameters.
  2. Normalize those parameters using normalize_parameters.
  3. Create the base string URI using base_string_uri.
  4. Create the signature base string from the above three components using signature_base_string.
  5. Pass the signature base string and the client credentials to one of the sign-with-client functions. The HMAC-based signing functions needs client credentials with secrets. The RSA-based signing functions needs client credentials with an RSA private key.

To verify a request, pass the request and credentials to one of the verify functions. The HMAC-based signing functions needs the shared secrets. The RSA-based verify functions needs the RSA public key.

Scope

All of the functions in this module should be considered internal to OAuthLib, since they are not imported into the "oauthlib.oauth1" module. Programs using OAuthLib should not use directly invoke any of the functions in this module.

Deprecated functions

The "sign_" methods that are not "_with_client" have been deprecated. They may be removed in a future release. Since they are all internal functions, this should have no impact on properly behaving programs.

base_string_uri(uri, host=None)

Calculates the base string URI.

The base string URI is one of the components that make up the signature base string.

The host is optional. If provided, it is used to override any host and port values in the uri. The value for host is usually extracted from the "Host" request header from the HTTP request. Its value may be just the hostname, or the hostname followed by a colon and a TCP/IP port number (hostname:port). If a value for thehost is provided but it does not contain a port number, the default port number is used (i.e. if the uri contained a port number, it will be discarded).

The rules for calculating the base string URI are defined in section 3.4.1.2`_ of RFC 5849.

collect_parameters(uri_query='', body=None, headers=None, exclude_oauth_signature=True, with_realm=False)

Gather the request parameters from all the parameter sources.

This function is used to extract all the parameters, which are then passed to normalize_parameters to produce one of the components that make up the signature base string.

Parameters starting with oauth_ will be unescaped.

Body parameters must be supplied as a dict, a list of 2-tuples, or a form encoded query string.

Headers must be supplied as a dict.
